Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Thank you for the explanation Federate.

    The armchair strategist in me was thinking in case of real war and an exchange, how our retaliation could be effective against the s-300 protected assets.
    Mind you my thinking is in the comfort that we have in our military far superior strategists working on these issues !!!!

    Anyway, my thoughts were around the fact with their “limited” number of s-300 systems could be overloaded with dummy missiles attacks.
    Their s-300s would respond to an extend that their system missile tubes would be come empty and require reloading.

    This would ( could) create a window of opportunity whereby for the duration of any reloading of their s-300 missile tubes their defended assets would be unprotected ( I have in mind their oil platforms).

    This could be the best moment to come on them like a ton of bricks.
    Londontsi, I can recommend this document in case you want to learn more about the S-300:

    Technical Report APA-TR-2006-1201; Title: Almaz S-300P/PT/PS/PMU/PMU1/PMU2 / Almaz-Antey S-400 Triumf / SA-10/20/21 Grumble/Gargoyle ; Abstract: Introductory technical analysis and development history of the Almaz-Antey S-300P family of Surface to Air Missile systems. Includes diagrams, imagery and variant tables; Published: December, 2006; Updated: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.

      The Azeris have 2 batteries: 2 x 4 x 4 = 32 missiles.
      We have three divisions of S-300PT around Yerevan, each with 12 launchers. 3x12x4 = 144 missiles ready to fire
      We also have at least two divisions of S-300PS in Syunik. Presumably each of 8 launchers. 2x8x4 = 64 missiles ready to fire

              When I spent 5 months in the mountains of the high desert in Nevada by myself , and I climbed the tallest peaks , if I looked one way I could see lake pyramid . If at night I looked the other way , beyond the salt flats on the valley floor far below , about two mountain chains past was a row of lights .
              Upon investigation I found an air force base . They had some very large planes that had 8 engines per plane , 4 per wing . I think they were B52s . Also some smaller ( much ) jets with wings shorter than I'm familiar with ( I'm not very knowledgable on this stuff ) . Also many more common fast fighter types .
              No one knew I was in the mountains ( except all the animals ) .
              Sometimes the big planes would fly around with two of these smaller short winged planes on each of the big planes wing tips . Cool .
              Many times while I dropped down between mountain chains the more common fast fighter type jets would suddenly appear flying incredibly fast below the mountain tops ( well below ) and literally " wheedle " through the numerous connecting canyons .
              I could see them comming but there was no sound .
              I learned the hard way that when I saw them comming I had to emmediatly cover my ears because a LOUD sound was soon to follow and it hurt .

                Thank you ZORAVAR
                Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
                Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
                Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

                  Azeri Author Sends Unpopular Message To Armenians: 'We Can Live Together'

                  BAKU -- Political protests have become a frequent phenomenon in Azerbaijan. Literary protests, not so much.

                  But a new novel by a respected Azerbaijani writer prompted angry demonstrations this week, with angry crowds gathering outside a Baku apartment block, shouting "Shame!" and setting photos of the author, Akram Aylisli, alight.

                  The protesters' complaints were hardly aesthetic. Few, in fact, appeared to have read the book, "Stone Dreams," which has not been published in Azerbaijan and only recently appeared, in translated form, in the Russian literary journal "Druzhba narodov" (Friendship of the Peoples).

                  Instead, it's the subject matter of the novel that's raising tempers.

                  Aylisli's novel, which looks at the South Caucasus' bitterly fractious history, casts a sympathetic light not on his native Azerbaijan but its traditional rival, Armenia.
                  Read more here and here.
